About Me

I am a mother of two young children, and a primary school teacher (currently on family leave.). In both capacities I am always on the lookout for appropriate and stimulating toys that give opportunity for imaginative play and don't push commercial brands. I have always loved dabbling with paint, paper, scissors and glue. I remember making paper dolls with my mother when I was little- drawing them on stiff card, and then tracing them to make all sorts of clothes.
My sister suggested there might be a market for some paper dolls I’d made for her... and after a bit of experimenting to come up with a sturdy, child-friendly product, Amaria’s PaperWorks is the result!

As my followers will know, I am working on expanding my "Children of the World" collection.

This collection represents children from a wide range of cultural groups based on ethnic regions including the Pacific, Asia, northern and southern Europe, the Americas and Africa.

Each pair of these sturdy dolls come as a set including a school uniform, weekend clothes, and a pair of pajamas for each of them. In addition a sample of traditional clothing for each region is included.

I've started working on the next pair already. Which brings me to the competition:

Can you guess which country is next?

You have until 7 pm on Saturday 11th June, Melbourne time, to post your guess.

You can choose either to leave a comment here or on my Facebook wall.

You may enter as many times as you like- only one guess per post, however.

The winner will be the first person to post the correct answer, based on time and date.

If no-one guesses the exact country, the prize will go to the closest geographical location.

The Prize?

The winner(s) will be allowed to choose any standard (non-custom) item from my store to the value of $25. (Excludes personalised dolls.)

I will notify the winner personally, and will post the new dolls here on Saturday 11th June!

Hint

I don't plan to double up, so I would suggest taking a look at the dolls already listed in my MadeIt store or my Etsy shop! Links to both locations are located at the top of this page.

Bonus Giveaway!!!

For the duration of this competition, anyone purchasing a doll from my shop will receive one clothes set of their choice free of charge. This offer applies to individual dolls, pairs of dolls and even personalised dolls.
